I think they're pretty cool names for the colors on it .Plasma Copper + Armor Titanium...
Really
I'm curious as to why the specs between this and the Acer Predator X27 are different on the Newegg store pages. It says that the Acer version can do 10-bit color but the Asus version can only do 10-bit with dithering. The brightness spec is also different but it might only be showing the HDR brightness for the Acer model. These differences in the specs seem odd to me since both monitors are supposed to be using the same panels. Could also be that the specs on Newegg are inaccurate.
I preordered the Acer just now I guess some people cancelled and switched to the Asus for whatever reason. I have a feeling local retailers won't be getting the displays til the end of summer so decided to just gamble and order at newegg.
They are the same panel so are both 8bit+FRC.
Sorry, I meant back up for preorder.They aren't in-stock, just a pre-order for June 22nd.
LOL
So when all is said and done are you and/or Vega going to test run one of these for us?

31.5" 4K VA at 120 Hz could be quite interesting. Hopefully they come out with a G-Sync version.
And 5120 x 1440 49" VA at 120 Hz would be killer for flight and space sims.
It does at 8-bit color, with plenty of room to spare for the headroom needed for G-Sync. The writer probably left out a few words." However, Chroma subsampling is obligated to step down to 4:2:2 instead of 4:4:4 due to constraints presented by the extra refresh headroom." What?? I thought for 8 bit SDR DP 1.4 can do 144Hz at full 4:4:4 chroma? Please tell me these guys have it wrong.
Sorry, I have the original TN version .Once you ballers take delivery of these can you sell me your old 27" IPS 144hz Gync monitors for a reasonable price please.
We'll see your review .I just got shipping confirmation and tracking information for my PG27UQ from Newegg!
Should be here on Monday .
My local Microcenter here in D.C. just got 10+ in stock. Going to pick one up and pit it against the X27.
I prefer VA + FALD over IPS + FALD to get inky black levels which can compete with OLED blacks .VA has more pixel smear, no G-Sync, less Hz, no FALD and no 1000 nit HDR just for starters. No AMD GPU even comes close to pushing 4K 120 FPS.

So after testing the ASUS versus the Acer, it is pretty clear that NVIDIA did basically all of the firmware on these displays. Almost every OSD item is identical, with slightly changed names for some of them. Both panels are pixel perfect and have no flaws. AUOptronics appears to have stepped up their game. Both displays operate in the same manner, have identical picture qualities, both come with calibration reports, both have the same bandwidth, both have the same resolution and color settings, both have the same AR film, both have identical motion clarity numbers etc. Really the only noticeable differences are the monitor case (housing), the fan setup and the stand.
The stand is nicer on the Acer. Look, feel and quality. I also prefer the simpler/more professional look of the Acer housing.
While I stated in my Acer review the OSD joystick on the Acer felt kinda flimsy, it is downright terrible on the ASUS. I click up and down in the menu and the joystick gets stuck up or down and I have to manually center it. It also sometimes makes an odd clicking sound. Basically I don't think the joystick is set into its mount properly. Something they should have checked before packaging it up and can only be fixed if you take the monitor apart. The OSD on both monitors basically function the same and one isn't better than the other.
The last discriminator is the fan. ASUS:

The Acer is noticeable quieter. The Acer fan spins slower and is larger and has a larger heatsink. The ASUS fan is smaller, spins faster and makes a higher frequency sound that is more noticeable. The Acer's fan is more of a lower frequency/moving air sound.
The Acer stays on my desk and the ASUS boxed up for return. Please let me know if you have any questions about the differences between the two!
Completely silly to think that just because "x" isn't exactly what "y" wants, doesn't mean it doesn't have significant value.
